COMPUTER NETWORKING
CHAPTER 1
BASIC CONCEPTS OF NETWORK
DEFINTION & APPLICATIONS
...DEFINTION:A computer network is defined as the interconnection of two or more computers. It is done to enable the computers to communicate and share available resources.
...APPLICATIONS: i.Sharing of resources such as printers ii.Sharing of expensive software's and database iii.Communication from one computer to another computer iv.Exchange of data and information among users via network v.Sharing of information over geographically wide areas.THE USE OF COMPUTER

THE USE OF COMPUTER
NETWORK
Sharing hardware or software
Centralize administration and support
E.g. print document
E.g. Internet-based, so everyone can access the same administrative or support application from their PCsCOMPONENTS OF COMPUTER
NETWORK
¾Two or more computers
¾Cables as links between the computers
¾A network interfacing card(NIC) on each
computer¾Switches
¾Software called operating system(OS)
NETWORK BENEFITS
...The network provided to the users can be divided into two categories: i.Sharing ii.ConnectivitySHARING RESOURCES
...Types of resources are:1.Hardware: A network allows users to share
many hardware devices such as printers , modems, fax machines, CD ROM, players, etc.2.Software: sharing software resources reduces
the cost of software installation, saves space on hard disk.OTHER BENEFITS OF COMPUTER

oIncreased speed oReduced cost oImproved security oCentralized software managements oElectronic mail oFlexible accessDISDAVATAGES OF NETWORKS
oHigh cost of installation oRequires time for administration oFailure of server oCable faultsCLASSIFICATION OF AREA BY
THEIR GEOGRAPHY
LOCAL AREA NETWORK(LAN)
...LAN is a network which is designed to operate over a small physical area such as an office, factory or a group of buildings.
...I$1·V MUH HMV\ PR GHVLJQ MQG PURXNOHVORRP ...Exchange of information and sharing of resources becomes easy because of LAN. ...In LAN all machines are connected to a single cable. ...Different types of topologies such as star, tree, bus, ring, etc Can be used ...It is usually a privately owned network.WIDE AREA NETWORK(WAN)
...When network spans over a large distance or when the computers to be connected to each other are at widely separated locations a local area network cannot be used. A wide area network(WAN) is installed.
...The communication between different users of WAN is established using leased telephone lines, satellite links and similar channels.
...It is cheaper and more efficient to use the phone network for the link. ...Most WAN networks are used to transfer large blocks of data between its users.PERSONAL AREA NETWORK(PAN)
...A personal area network is a computer network organized around an individual person. ...It generally consists of a mobile computer, a cell phone or personal digital assistant. PAN enables the communication among these devices. ...It can also be used for communication among personal devices themselves for connecting to a digital level network and internet. ...The PANs can be constructed using wireless or cables.CAMPUS AREA NETWORK(CAN)
...The campus area network is made up of an interconnection of LAN with limited geographical area. ...Network equipments such as switches, routers and the transmission media i.e. optical fibre etc are almost entirely owned by the campus owner.METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK(MAN)
...It is in between LAN & WAN technology that covers the entire city. ...It uses similar technology as LAN. ...It can be a single network such as cable TV network, or a measure of connecting aQXPNHU RI I$1·V R M OMUJH QHPRRUN VR POMP

PEER TO PEER NETWORK
CLIENT SERVER NETWORK
PEER TO PEER NETWORK
...In peer to peer network each computer is responsible for making its own resources available to other computers on the network.
...Each computer is responsible for setting up and maintaining its own security for these resources....Also each computer is responsible for accessing the required network resources from peer to peer relationships.
...Peer to peer network is useful for a small network containing less than 10 computers on a single LAN .
...In peer to peer network each computer can function as both client and server....Peer to peer networks do not have a central control system. There are no servers in peer networks.
...Peer networks are amplified into home group.ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
OF PEER TO PEER NETWORK
Advantages:
Use less expensive
computer hardwareEasy to administer
No NOS required
More built in redundancy
Easy setup & low cost
Disadvantages:
Not very secure
No central point of
storage or file archivingAdditional load on
computer because of resource sharingHard to maintain
version controlCLIENT/SERVER NETWORK
...In client-server network relationships, certain computers act as server and other act as clients. A serveris simply a computer, that available the network resources and provides service to other computers when they request it. A clientis the computer running a program that requests the service from a server.
...Local area network(LAN) is based on client server network relationship....A client-server network is one n which all available network resources such as files, directories, applications and shared devices, are centrally managed and hosted and then are accessed by client.
...Client serve network are defined by the presence of servers on a network that provide security and administration of the network.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK
Advantages:
Very secure
Better performance
Centralized backup
very reliable
Disadvantages:
requires professional
administrationMore hardware-

softwareTYPES OF SERVERS
TYPES OF SERVERS
...File server: These servers provide the services for storing, retrieving and moving the data. A user can read, write, exchange and manage the files with the help of file servers.
...Printer server: The printer server is used for controlling and managing printing on the network. It also offers the fax service to the network users.
...Application server: The expensive software and additional computing power can be shared by the computers in a network with he help of application servers.
...Message server: It is used to co-ordinate the interaction between users, documents and applications. The data can be used in the for of audio, video, binary, text or graphics.
...Database server: It is a type of application server. It allows the uses to access the centralised strong database.
TRANMISSION MEDIA
...Two main categories:Guidedʊ
Unguidedʊ
microwave, infrared, sound, sonar ...We will concentrate on guided media here:Twisted-Pair cables:
¾Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cables
¾Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cables
Coaxial cables
Fiber-optic cables
TRANMISSION MEDIA
